Linux

I typically use libreoffice, but if I ever have the time to learn latex I’ll switch, I’ve heard nothing but good things aside from the learning curve

I use Markdown (very rarely LaTeX too) in Neovim, and LibreOffice for anything I can't do in Markdown.

Sometimes I'll start up the MarkdownPreview plugin I have, but typically I don't.

If I need to share it, I'll typically convert to PDF with pandoc or a random tool online if I can't get pandoc to work the way I want it.

Depends on the use case. For my own stuff I usually use LibreOffice, for docx compability I use OnlyOffice and for presentations I use Latex with TexStudio.

LibreOffice, I came for Linux support and PDF export... and stayed for the only Office that I know how to use 😄

Libreoffice usually, but I was a dedicated Google docs user for years and I do miss the auto-syncing since it meant I could never really lose my work but I've been trying to reduce my Google usage. I'm travelling at the moment (months long trip) so haven't been able to set up some sort of alternative system without access to all my devices.

OnlyOffice, I think it has the most polished UI and the LanguageTool plugin is really handy

Markdown for myself, Google Docs when I'm collaborating with others, and OnlyOffice after puking a little in my mouth for having received a docx or pptx by email.

I mostly use Libre Office, and sometimes Gnome Office

Libre Office user for over a decade, recently moved to OnlyOffice and liking it a lot so far. Seems to do better with MS formats than LibreOffice, snappy and responsive. UI is cleaner IMO.

Libre is still good though.

I’m getting into Linux which ones would guys recommend?

I don't know if it counts but I've been using pandoc for the entirety of my college life so far which includes creating presentations and writing papers. For collaboration with other students, we would usually use Google Docs. It's pretty much the standard nowadays.

I'd say 95% Markdown + Pandoc for when I make documents. The other 5% is LibreOffice.

When it comes time to make graphs and charts I really like wasting my time so I always try out something new (or old) to get the job done. Last time I used Pygal.

When it comes to dealing with docs from colleagues, it is all LibreOffice and Zathura.

I'm quite happy with libreoffice.

It can be a piece of crap sometimes but less so than MS Office.

With LO I have a passionate love-hate relationship.

Usually a Harvie&Hudson. I just go for a more casual Sexton on Fridays.

LibreOffice and avoid MS trap&trash formats as much as I can

I work mostly with texts, but if I need something office-y, I go old school: gnumeric for spreadsheets and abiword for documents

markdown - vimwiki for notes latex, overleaf - for research OnlyOffice - for docx and pptx

I like Libreoffice but it breaks the documents more than OnlyOffice.

and sometimes I have to double check in office365 the presentations before giving them because its always a shared computer with windows installed...

If I am forced to use word documents, then Onlyoffice.

Otherwise Latex for text and presentation (beamer).
For tables I use the terminal program sc-im, which also works with excel files.

OnlyOffice. FOSS, great MS compatibility, more modern than LibreOffice, local apps and runs in web with Nextcloud with great document collaboration options.

Mostly only need a spreadsheet. I will use anything at my disposal, but mostly Calc (LibreOffice).

Most of my text editing is markdown or actual code, so that is just VSCode or my IDE.

WPS Office for editing office files. LaTeX for writing articles. Emacs for everything else.

Usually OnlyOffice though I keep LibreOffice installed as a backup as sometimes I've had weird compatibility issues with the former (very few and far between but still)

I was using LibreOffice on everything but for some unknown reason it just flat out stopped working on my machine so I installed OnlyOffice and honestly I much prefer it.

Obsidian for notes, Libre Office and sometimes (please don't punch me) Google Docs/Sheets. Oh and LaTeX with nvim for docs that need to look real nice.

I'm using LibreOffice at the moment.

Are any office suites as good as MS Office for referencing and citations? One of the things that keeps my wife stuck on windows/macOS is the need for a good Office suite for university

I use Rstudio with Quarto (really nice) and libreoffice

Mostly Markdown too, but I wouldn't call that an "office suite". I really use classic office suite software. If I have to, LibreOffice and at work I had to use — surprise — M$ Office.

For my own use, I tend to go markdown for everything. Then it becomes either a blog post with hugo, or an email with markdown here (a browser and mail client extension to turn your markdown into html in a rich text field, or in an email), or a html doc.

For work, when I have no choice, I use office365. It sucks though, it's not even fully compatible with using the desktop versions of the apps (size of elements, positioning will always be slightly off)

Latex on VSCode for personal things or otherwise Overleaf for collab. Otherwise default to google docs/Librr Office

LibreOffice, since I'm a light user and it's usually available.

Markdown with neovim for gits.

LibreOffice for spreadsheets and presentations.

LaTeX for publications and moderncv template for resume.

Etherpad for collaboration.

MS Office 2007 inside a Windows XP virtual machine.
